"Adult Head" is the first book of poetry by Jeff Tweedy, the songwriting genius behind the band Wilco. In turns surreal and concrete, playful and serious, urgent and whimsical, "Adult Head" rewards readers with a unique prosody and deep wisdom. Culled from the same mind responsible for some of the best lyrics and music made in the past decade, this volume displays Tweedy's prodigious talent for poetry on the page. Jeff Tweedy has devoted the last twenty years of his life to songwriting and music making. As a member of the band Wilco and formerly of the band Uncle Tupelo, Tweedy and his band mates have garnered respect and praise from "Rolling Stone", "Spin", the "New Yorker", the "New York Times", and the "Chicago Tribune". Tweedy lives in Chicago with his wife and two sons.

From the Inside Flap

"America's finest troubadours have always broken our hearts, and Jeff Tweedy is no exception. In this glorious first collection of poems -- wise, delicate, wry and compelling poems -- Jeff Tweedy reminds us again of the quiet oscillations in every life between the willed courage of humor and the inevitable tides of sadness. Don't be surprised to discover that this book is, at its very core, a deeply spiritual sequence of meditations and adventures." - David St. John

"Jeff's a poet. Always has been. That's apparent to anyone caught by his voice and guitar. He's not a rock poet. Adult Head is not some ego lark. Jeff writes words to convey his soul with a wholly natural sense. He has his heart inside the literature of poetry in all its straight-up and experimental lyrical historicity. He thinks maybe barking dogs are laughing! He thinks maybe the world is some kind of kitten. He still thinks we're serious. Word magic. And we're lucky he can sing it so sweet. A fair amount of you can't hug jeff; he's on stage. But you can hug this book. It hugs back." - Thurston Moore
